One waterfall serves Fuquay-Varina, and it earns the page. Half an hour south in Raven Rock State Park, the Cape Fear stumbles across rock at Lanier Falls. Plan on five miles of walking, 300 feet of gain along the way, dog welcome for all of it. Around here the Piedmont eases into coastal plain so gradually that moving water rarely finds a ledge to jump from, which makes this single entry the neighborhood's whole supply.

Located at 35.5953°N, -78.7778°W
